    I ordered some silverjets from Marco and put 10 games in on my nos phantom of the opera restoration. They are now pitted and scratched to the point where I can feel the pitting after ten games.

    Quoted from PinRob:

    I’d bet another brand of ball would do the same. I’d check to see if something in the game itself is the result of that first (but I know that won’t be too easy)

    Everything in the game is new or new old stock. I sanded and polished all the metal pieces that come in contact with the balls except the ball trough kick out arm (which is also new). Think that could be it?

    It’s def the trough kicker that is taking nicks out of the ball. I sacrificed one of my new ninja chrome balls to it. I’ll have to sand down the edges of it and polish it like every other piece in the game
